SDM Points policy change

[miniv]

ok, not too sure where this goes! but please move it to where it's supposed to be! I haven't seen this posted anywhere...but if it has..then please mark it as expired! lol

As of May 2, 2009, SDM will no longer be able to redeem 3,500 pts as a reward! As well, SDM pts redemption will no longer include stamps, passport photos, wireless phone cards, and event tickets purchased through Ticket Ops.

I liked the idea of being able to redeem stamps!! Too bad about that!

So i guess 10.00 (7000) points will be the lowest?

Wow, they keep taking from the program. I think they should extend the points beyond 75000. My MIL has 213000 pts and just keeps racking them up. Its just ashame that you can only use one value of 75000 at a time. But then again, there really isn't much at SDM that is high enough value to warrant using more right?
Oh well.

OMG!! 213000!! is there any restrictions on how many times you can redeem a day? she should use it up before the program ends!! in 2011!

Thanks for the info, I have a sdm points card, but really have no idea how it works other than when they ask if I want $5.00 off!

[mellyskater]

i had 150000 at one point thinking they would just double it, i was wrong, ended up gettnig 2 orders of 150.00 off, but sucked when i wanted to buy items that totalled up to 300 (ie. nintendo wii)....

The SDM literature on Optimum points has always had an ending date for the program...but they've always extended it. I wouldn't worry.

Definitely wouldn't worry...I mean it will probably end at some point, but most if not all reward programs have the same kind of end date, a date in the near future that keeps extending, like HBC and airmiles.
